'''Epic NPCs''' are a feature added to a new type of Player Vs Player mode called ''Matchmaking'', where players fight other random players that match their skill level and rank. However, what do Epic NPCs have anything to do with this? When a player searches a player through this Matchmaking feature, there is a rare chance of encountering an Epic NPC. An Epic NPC is not a real player but an AI that uses advanced techniques and combos. There are currently 10 NPCs, each representing a different class which will use the class's skills along with exclusive and special properties. NPCs are widely known to be extremely challenging, but offer great rewards for defeating them, which include special titles, an abnormal amount of Rank Points (20-30RP), Arena points and exp. Even if one loses against them, a substantial amount of Arena Points and experience will be given, regardless if no kills were made.
'''Epic NPCs''' are enemies that are exclusively encountered in place of other players while participating in [[PvP#Arena|Arena]]. There are currently 10 Epic NPC's that can be encountered, each of which is based on specific character classes. They are known to be very challenging, and possess their own unique properties. Defeating them offers greater rewards than when fighting another player, as well as the potential to obtain rare and powerful [[titles]].
<br>
Special [[Titles]] are obtained after beating a specific Epic NPC for a certain number of times. These titles are difficult to obtain, but the stat boosts obtained from the titles are known to be some of the best in the game.

Epic NPCs have several common properties:
Epic NPCs have several common properties:
* Each has 30% Attack Speed as well as 30% Run and Jump Speed. This enables them to react almost immediately, while recovering incredibly fast from hitstuns. This explains their ability to skill and awaken mid-combo. You should also prevent launching them into the air within combos, as they can easily use a skill or attack and counter you.

* Epic NPCs all have a passive that permits extremely fast passive mana regeneration, as well as heightened MP regen when hitting, and when being hit. To prevent them from constantly mana breaking, they have a cooldown on mana break installed in their AI. Their passive mana regeneration is set at approximately 10 MP per second. Some NPCs, however, despite this mana bonus, will still have some difficulty in regenerating mana - Edan is an example, because he constantly burns mana thanks to his repeated abuse of Shadow Step and 99% chance of Emergency Escape.

* Epic NPC loading is similar to the dungeon system; a host is chosen (the oldest player in the room) and will act as a temporary server to the other players. Thus, while the oldest character in the room will have minimal lag against the NPCs, the other characters may find the NPCs to be fairly laggy. When making an Epic NPC hunting party, it is wise to choose a host who has good ping to the other players, as well as a strong and stable connection.
